“Redemption? I need an opponent at 140 if you want a chance to lose faster than last time”  -Cris Cyborg, who beat Baszler in 2 rounds back in 2008 to end her win streak.

SKYSCRAPER PROBLEMS

PALHARES DESERVED TO BE STRIPPED OF HIS TITLE

“@ToquinhoMMA just poke the tree in the eye then.”  -Tim Kennedy

“At this point of his career @ToquinhoMMA should be banned from MMA for life.  Cheater at every opportunity. Major officiating error. #WSOF”  -Tim Kennedy

“I’m obviously operating on Brazilian time (a little late). Everything moves slow down here, like Rousimar Palharas after a tap.”  -Tim Kennedy

“Man, I just keep thinking about what might of happened at the Sheilds fight if the Diaz bros hadn’t been kicked out of the arena already.”  -Jon Fitch

“Just watched shields vs Paul Harris finish last night. Paul Harris again, tries to maim his opponent unnecessarily. Lifetime ban IMO”  -T.J. Grant

“Not sure how any commission is licensing him at this point, let alone organizations promoting him.”  -Josh Samman

“Palhares eye gouging @jakeshieldsajj was a disgrace. Mazzagatti is incompetent @MMAWorldSeries”  -Cesar Gracie

“My thoughts r that Rousimar does not care about the rules everybody else r following he is going to make up his own. ”  -Big John McCarthy

” he’s not a professional. It’s the right move.”  -Kenny Florian, reacting to WSOF stripping him of his title and suspending Palhares.

“So, was the punishment of palhares handed out by the promotion or the commission?”  -Jon Fitch

“If palhares is suspended then the referee must be suspended also.”  -Angela Magana
